I was enjoying myself in a live band performance
called Sweet Tone around 2 weeks ago in Farquhar’s Bar of the Eastern & Oriental Hotel.
They are new 3 piece band comprises of Mahazan Jalaluddin, Mohd Akhir bin Abdul Rashid and Haidee
Lim.
The performance is available from Thursdays
to Saturdays between 8pm to 11pm from now till 26 April 2014.
The
Eastern & Oriental Hotel is proud to present their new 3 piece band, Sweet
Tone. They will be performing at the Farquhar Bar. The new 3 piece band comprises of
Mahazan Jalaluddin, Mohd Akhir bin Abdul Rashid and Haidee Lim.
Mahazan Jalaluddin, a former member of the
Malaysian People Band famous in the 90’s is on backup vocals and plays both the
guitar and bass in Sweet Tone. He has also backed up several local and
international artistes like Siti Nurhaliza and Kris Dayanti.
Mohd Akhir, also on backup vocals, is the
keyboardist for Sweet Tone. He was also a former member of the Malaysian People
Band and has worked with local artistes like Rahim Maarof and Amy Mastura.
Haidee Lim from the Philippines is the lead
vocalist of the band. She is a professional performer based in Penang since the
year 1989 and has been entertaining guests in top hotels and private functions.
She is able to sing a wide array of musical genres.
The band’s repertoire includes jazz and old

You may find many foreigners are enjoying themselves in this live band performance |
Farquhar’s
Bar offers a lot of drinks include house wine, cocktail, mocktail, vodka,
blended whisky, tequila and many more.
I do
not really prefer alcohol drinks, therefore I’ve chosen a glass of
Oriental Moon Light (RM19++), which contains mango juice, guava juice, lemon
juice and ginger ale. The taste of drink is more to sour as having mango and
lemon inside the drink.
My
friends had E&O Sling (RM29++) cocktail which
made of Bombay Gin, Grand Marnier (orange-flavoured cognac liqueur), Creme de
menthe (sweet, mint-flavoured alcoholic beverage) and Sprite and another is Grand
Oriental mocktail
(Monin Peach, Cranberry Juice, Orange
Juice and Sprite) at RM19++.
In conjunction with
the debut of Sweet Tone, Farquhar Bar is offering a special promotion on
selected drinks. Guests can enjoy selected beverages ranging from house pouring
brands, house wine, draught beers, cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks and juices
for just RM12++ per glass.
Besides
that, Farquhar’s Bar also has some snack for you to enjoy while listening to
their performance.
We've ordered Calamari Rings and Truffle Parmesan
Fries. Believe me that you will really lick your fingers clean as it is
really delicious.
Another
finger food that we tried was Chicken
Bratwurst with Onion Gravy and Tempura
Prawn.
We chose avocado and mayonnaise sauces as our sauce, but both
sauces are not preferable. We still feel their Thai chili sauce with Tempura
Prawn is the best combination. The Tempura Prawn is quite crispy and fresh and the
Chicken Bratwurst with Onion Gravy is really best enough without any sauce added.
Price
list as below:
A
single bowl - RM12++
Duo
bowl - RM23++
Trio
bowl - RM33++
Quartet
bowl - RM42++
If you’re
planning to have your dinner here, you may order their ala carte meal. One of
our friends had her Fish and Chips (RM35++) came with grilled lemon, toasted
petit salad and remoulade sauce. Surprisingly, the portion is quite huge compared
with our Asian meal portion, personally feel that this is more suitable to
foreigners or big eaters.
And
the last meal we ordered was Garlic Marinated Rack of Lamb (RM45++) with herb
roasted potato, wild mushroom and shallot sauce. The texture of lamb is quite tender and all of us liked the
wild mushroom so much.
